An Odd-FeIyow,s Alleged Shortage.

AUSTIN. Tex. Feb. 10.-There is quite a san
sation hero to-day among the members of the
Grand Lodge Of Odd-felows. which has been in
session during the week. 1t is alleged that Mr..
Thomas M. Joseph, of Galveston and for ten
years treasurer of the Grand Lodge of Odd
fellows of Texas. is short in his
counts in sum ranging all the way
from $4,000 to 100000 Suspicion was
first formed nearly year ago by a
draft drawn on Mr.. Joseph being returned I'M
paid. Subsequently other drafts drawn on him,
and which should have been promptly honored,
were returned unpaid. and an explanation was
demanded from the grand master. 1t not
satisfactory, and the matter was laid before the
lodge at this session.. Mr. Joseph was present to
be reinstaled as treasurer for the coming year.
he having been reelected at the last annual
meeting. but on the representations made by the
grand master, the ladge, before proceeding
to install him, demanded a new and better bond,
and that he produce the cash and United States
bonds in the lodge treasury. amounting to about
$50 000 He left. for the ostensible purpose of
complying. but thus far has failed to return,
and prominent officers of the Grand Lodge here
express the opinion that ne is short for large
sum, perhaps the entire $50 900 There are also
grave doubts about the solvency of his bond.

European War Preparations.

BERLIN, Feb. 1.-THE North German Gazette

charge of the French War Office not day has
passed without measures being taken to aug

The patriotic attitude of the French Chamber of
Deputies and the French press toward the

ought to cover with shame the Progressist and
Catholic parties in Germany, which, when the
glorious creator of German unity declares that
the sacrifices he asks from the nation have no
other aim than peace. refuse him the necessary
means to defend the frontiers of the fatnerland.

Quite a numi.cr Of ladies were
present and Appeared to cujoy The

The Park bo;s had beautiful uni.

the AbbeyilIe boys were decidedly

The co'ored band was on hand
and furnished excellent music.
No accidents occurred, aud hut
for some chronic kickers the game
would have been a perfect success.
We have been shown a very pretty

pairs Of heels kicking vigorously at
